Statement of Principles:Alliance@IBM/CWA Local 1701 is an IBM employee organization that
is dedicated to preserving and improving our rights and benefits at IBM.
We also strive towards restoring management's respect for the individual
and the value we bring to the company as employees. Our mission is to make
our voice heard with IBM management, shareholders, government and the media.
While our ultimate goal is collective bargaining rights with IBM, we will
build our union now and challenge IBM on the many issues facing employees
from off-shoring and job security to working conditions and company policy.

If
there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom,
and yet depreciate agitation, want crops without plowing the ground. They
want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the
awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may
be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be
a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand..
It never did and never will...--Fredrick
